Today, while cruising through one of my business courses, I saw the first quote, mentioned here, scribbled meticulously at the top of the page. Reading it stirred my imagination so I googled some “discovery” quotes. As I read them, I felt little waves of thoughts emerging within my brain and spreading out just like ripples in a quite lake do. I thought a bit and managed to come up with some original quotes. Here I am sharing my 2 cents along with the quotes of some famous artists. So enjoy, some food for thought.

Marcel Proust
Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.

When we seek to discover the best in others, we somehow bring the best in ourselves.
